COOKING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 5,967, dated December 12,r 1848.

T0 al whom, it may concern Be it known that I, DARIUs BUCK, of A1- bany, in the county of Albany, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cooking-Stoves, and that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the principle or character which distinguishes them from all other things loefore known and of the manner of making, constructing, and using the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which-V Figure l is a longitudinal vertical section of my improved stove; Figs. 2 and 3, horizontal sections taken at the lines (A,y a) and (B b) of Fig. l; and Figs. 4 and 5 cross vertical sections taken at the lines (C, c) and (D el)v of Fig. 1.

The same letters indicate like parts in al] the figures..

The nature of my improvements consist, first, in the arrangement of thetwo ovens, one (that is, the main one) at the back of the fire place, and. extending, if desired, partly under it, and the other in front of the main one extending under the open hearth, when this is combined with an arrangement of Hues by which the draft is caused to pass over the main oven,down two side Hues at the back, along two side Hues at the bottom, then uniting in a single Hue under the front oven, up in front thereof over the top and between it and the open hearth, then down a diving Hue between the two ovens to a return Hue under the main oven and between the two side Hues, and thence up through a middle Hue at the back to the chimney-the said central return Hue at the bottom of the main oven being provided with a sliding damper which-when open permits the draft after passing through the two main Hues at the bottom to enter and pass through the said return Hue to the chimney without passing around the front oven, so that by means of the sliding damper both ovens` or only thel main one may be heated. And the second part of my invention consists in making hot air chambers between the cent-ral and the two side Hues at the back, and the two main and the return Hues at the bottom by making the partitions double, that is, of two plates,` when this is combined with apertures through the bottom and back plates of the stove for the free admission of air to loe heatedin these chambers to aid in baking.

In the accompanying drawings (a) repref sents the Hre place, (b) the main oven and.

(c) the oven in front of it, and separated by a vertical space (d). When it is desired to heat the two ovens the products of combusti on passl from the fire place directly over the main oven and down two divingy Hues (e, e) back of the oven, and placed so far apart as to leave a Hue space between them, thence the draft passes along two main Hues (f, f) under the main oven, and also, f

separated by a Hue space in the middle;but as this center Hue only extends to thefront end of the main oven, the draft then passes in a single sheet through a Hue (g) under the front oven, up the front Hue (71,) over the top of this oven, and between it and the open hearth (z') which is thus heated for cooking purposes, and then the draft passes down between the two ovens in the vertical Hue space (cl) to the return central Hue (j), between the two flues (f, f), the

said Hue conducting the draft to a Hue (lc) at the back and between the two diving Hues (e, e). The central return Hue (j) is provided with a sliding damper (Z) having two wings (mi, m), one on each side, that embrace the partitions (n, n) that divide the central from the two main Hues, and as this damper-is provided with a handle (0) extending out to the front when it is desired to heat the main oven alone this damper is drawn out (which opens the for- Y ward end of the return Hue and then the draft instead of passing around the front oven passes from the main Hues (f, f,) into lthis return Hue and thence through the cent-ral vertical Hue (la) to the chimney, so that by simply moving this damper both ovens or only the main one can be heated. The central Hue. (72) has an opening vnear the top which opens into the Hue space above the main oven governed by a damper (p) vso that when desired, for kindling or other sus ` oven.

in the oven bottom to aid in heating the oven; and in like manner the hot air cham-y bers (t, are formed in the same way and for the same purpose between the lues (e, 6,) and (la) holes being made in the back plate of the stove and main oven for the admission of cold air to these chambers, and for the introduction of it when heated to the It desired however these chambers in the bottom and back can be made continuous, and instead of discharging the air heated in them through holes into the main oven, it may be discharged into the flues that pass around thev front oven to aid in heating it. The oven top should be as usual provided with holes for the escape of the heated air from the oven after circulating through it; but as this is well known there is no necessity for describing and representing where and how made.

By my improvements the heat that passes through the flues will heat the air in the lchambers formed between them and in that way aidfin heating the oven or ovens; and by the arrangement of the flues in combination with the arrangement of the two ovens and the dampers the two ovens can be heated regularly, and the heat carried around one or both ovens at pleasure, and when carried around both it will present the additional advantage of heating the open hearth plate suliiciently to admit of broiling and carrying on other culinary operations, which has not heretofore been done without a separate fire in the hearth. f

That I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Let-ters Patent in the before described stove, is-

l. The arrangement of the two ovens, one in front of the other, 'substantially as desscribed, in combination with the arrangement of flues by which the draft can be made to pass over the main oven, down the back in the two diving tlues, along the bottom, up the front of the front oven, over the top of it, down the diving flue between the front and main flue to the return flue, along the bottom and up the back of the main oven to the chimney, substantially as herein described. Y

2. And I also claim in Ycombination with the arrangement of ovens and lines', the employmentof the damper in the central return flue at the bot-tom for the purpose of causing the draft to pass around one or both of the ovens at pleasure, substant-ially-as described.

DARiUs BUCK.
